"I have not had non-leather boots before. I was pleasantly surprised! I only have worn them once, so I don't have good feedback for how they break in over time. I wore them all day and they were comfortable. I DID get compliments, as other reviewers have also experienced. They are a little stiff at first, but that does not affect the comfort level. For not being leather, they are surprisingly comfortable, although the padding is minimal as far as support goes. These are great boots if you are looking for another pair of boots for your wardrobe to mix things up. Other reviewers indicated the black is lighter. I would agree. Not as dark as one would expect."
"I normally wear a 7 size in shoes I wear socks (like boots) and a 6.5 in dress shoes. I ordered a 6.5 in these and they were perfect! When I first put them on I was worried that they would not be comfortable. However, I just wore them for the first time, and they were great! They did not bother me at all. I was pleasantly surprised. And the blue was a great color blue. I receive two compliments in the first wearing. I would actually consider getting these in another color, and to be honest, I have never done that with shoes."
